Anybody know where all this oil residue could be coming from? It's right around the oil pump area and all over the differential and power steering bracket. Is there any seals anywhere around that area that I should change out?

I would probably blame the vss seal and road grime. Does your car have a splash shield underneath? If anything, clean it up really good, and put a new O-ring on the vss assembly.

I have to get some more 3M High Power brake cleane. If anyone wants to clean their motor up really good? This shit works wonders!! Spray and watch the oil and grim wash away. You'll go through about 4-5 cans of it tho. I'm on my 3rd. Last edited by Aking; 05-14-2012 at 01:12 PM. |

Not a whole lot of action last night, just went around the entire motor to make sure things were tightened down and everything is in place.
I did get my exhaust gaskets and exhaust manifold back on and my accessory belts on and tightened. Polyurethane casting compound (60A) is on order. I will be poly filling my motor mounts as soon as that arrives. Hopefully this Saturday I can get the motor back in the car. I also need to replace my VSS wire harness. |
